    Put homebrew in them. [Duuhhh! Why would you do anything else?]

    By the way, I had to look in the dictionary because your use of "anorak" confused me. Thanks for teaching me a new definition for a word I thought I knew!

    I'm moving house as we speak (and drinking homebrew, and on BA, of course) looking at the multiple boxes of empty bottles, thinking maybe I should of recycled them. They will never fit in my car in one trip...

    With my painted Stone bottles, I cut the tops off with string soaked in acetone (YouTube is awesome), and turn them into candle holders and what-not. My kids now have Stone Ruination IPA pencil holders in there bedrooms :wink:.

    Recycle them. I don't have the room to keep them. Most times I try different beers while i'm out at the bar or restaurant. Keep the list of beers here

    I used to save some of the cooler ones with good artwork or whatever, then one day I just decided to toss them. It's bad enough that I collect pint glasses, but at least I can use those.

    I keep a few...but most get returned for cash so I can buy more beer.

    I recycle all the bottles and have pounds of caps saved for my future beer pong table project

    Aaaah. My long lost brother. Problem is I don't have enough room for enough bottles for a free 6 pk. but I can sure put a major dent in one or buy a low-priced bomber of something like Hop Stoopid.

    I give 'em a little kiss and then out the door they go to the recycle bin. Don't ever say I'm not a gentleman.
